Redding, Connecticut, Olivia Giaccio has left an undeniable mark on the sport of freestyle mogul skiing with her impressive persistence and achievements.

Olivia became the first woman to attempt a cork 1080 in a World Cup competition and has skied at 68 resorts and counting. Alongside her skiing career, Olivia attends Columbia University and actively supports various organizations such as the Share Winter Foundation, Harper for Kids, and her local food bank. Her outstanding performances have earned her multiple podium finishes, including a World Cup victory and a remarkable 6th place at the 2022 Olympics.
